What a Normal Workday Looks Like

To tie everything together, here's what a normal workflow looks like when you're working on a team:

┌──────────────┐     ┌──────────────┐     ┌───────────────┐
│ Pull latest  │────>│ Create       │────>│ Work & commit │
│ main         │     │ branch       │     │ on branch     │
│ git pull     │     │ git switch -c│     │ git add/commit│
└──────────────┘     └──────────────┘     └───────┬───────┘
                                                  │
                                                  v
┌──────────────┐     ┌──────────────┐     ┌───────────────┐

│ delete branch│     │ review       │     │ git push      │
└──────────────┘     └──────────────┘     └───────────────┘

Start your day by pulling the latest changes so your local main is up to date:

git switch main
git pull

Create a branch for the task you're working on:

git switch -c feature/your-task

Make changes, commit as you go:

git add .
git commit -m "Describe what you changed"
